Prayer 612

O God draw us to your light and truth, that we may sit at your feet in
awe and reverence, in peace and safety. You are our Rock, O God, the
solid ground on which we stand as our lives whirl around us. Let us
stand before your courts, and sing praises to your grace, truth, and
power, the foundation of our lives. We thank You for friends and loved
ones who bless us and draw near us, who uphold us and support us always.

I close my eyes, and feel your presence rest upon my shoulders with the
warm weight of love. Send your Spirit to press upon me, O Holy One, let
me nestle my head into the crook of your wing. Shade me from the heat
of all that oppresses me, for it is in You that I trust. Although I
falter, I feel the wind of your comfort at my back, and your
loving-kindness bears me forward.
